The discovery of a new drug may make it possible to eliminate Diabetic Retinopathy with a single injection. Diabetic Retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness in working age adults, and occurs when high blood sugar levels cause damage to blood vessels that feed the Retina in people with diabetes. These damaged blood vessels grow abnormally, and leave scars that obstruct vision. The main challenge in the treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy has been determining which blood vessels are healthy, and which are damaged. This new drug has been effective at identifying a molecular target present in damaged Retinal blood vessels, and selectively eliminating them, allowing the Retina to repair itself.
